Deliver me - Isaiah 55

He wasn’t thirsty nor did he yearn for food 
For he had already found nourishment in Your words

He didn’t spend money on things that did not satisfy
But he clothed the naked
Housed the homeless
Sought healing for the sick 
As You asked 

He gave his ears and listened to Your words 
Promises of an everlasting covenant, faithful love 

He united people
The masses sought unification through him
They were drawn to the light in his eyes 
His kind smile 
He had a way with people, but You already know that I’m sure
Omniscient.

He looked for You
Found You within the walls of our community church
Witnessed Your presence in the heart of his wife
Your protection in his happy and healthy children 

You tell the wicked to forsake their ways and unrighteousness thoughts
That You may have mercy on them 

You save Your mercy for the wicked and forget to take care of the good 
I asked You to give him peace and You answered my prayers with death 

Did he accomplish all that You desired?
Was the purpose for which he was sent to earth already completed? 

You command me to go out in joy, lead forth in peace 
But my soul has been crushed 
My faith locked behind the steel walls of anger 
Sorrow its guard 

I am thirsty but cannot drink 
I am hungry but will not eat
For it was the same hand that fed him that numbered his days

My Heavenly Father 
Deliver me from the evil of Your ways
